The fact that Sheppard was no longer the commander made McKay a different character. Suddenly he was less neurotic and stronger as a leader, because he was thrust into that role.
He was also kind of a jerk, lacking the compassion I think our McKay has. I agree he was stronger, yes, but he was also cold. I think our John's overall influence on McKay was to make him both strong and human.
